Peel and core apples. Cut each apple into 8 slices each. Roll each apple slice in a crescent roll. Place in a 9 x 13 buttered pan.

Melt butter, then add sugar and barely stir. Add vanilla, stir, and pour entire mixture over apples. Pour Mountain Dew around the edges of the pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon and bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Serve with ice cream, and spoon some of the sweet sauces from the pan over the top.

oh I love her too. she is hilarious. if you get a chance read all her black heels and tractor wheels story, I laughed so hard. she is a great storyteller it is about how her and her husband met. anyways. the dumpling are so yummy too. we tried those also. take care!

I was too tickled to see this recipe. I have been making it for nearly two decades — always a ‘go to’ when needing a quick comforting sweet fix and always a crowd pleaser. It has become my signature dessert whenever we hit the mountains for some relaxation. I guess most do eat it with ice cream. I prefer to pour a little heavy cream around mine though.

I am a diabetic and have something similar to this that is diabetic friendly. Substitute Splenda for the sugar and sugar free mountain dew for the regular dew. It is very good but not as sweet. Still have to practice portion control. lol Serve with sugar free ice cream. This is a quick and easy dessert.

I’ve been making this for several months now. My family absolutely loves it! They even began calling it “apple crack” because they were unable to resist it! Recently my 2 1/2 yr. old grandson has been baking with me and when he gleefully told his dad “Me and Nana made you crack” we decided we better get used to calling it Apple dumplings again! Thanks for such a great recipe. (Though I did find the only “small” can of mountain dew I was able to find was a 12 oz can, and that proved to be too much, so I have lessened that amount.)
